As many of you know, we extended our hours on Friday and Saturday nights for the summer. While summer isn’t officially over, the kids are back to school and we’ve updated our hours back to normal ( 6:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.) with one exception – we will remain open 6:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. on Friday’s. Stop in an see us!

Longtime Grayling visitors are familiar with its downtown namesake restaurant that served a legendary breakfast called the Lumberjack. Much to the dismay of residents and visitors alike the Grayling Restaurant closed after 75 years of service this past September 30th.

On Wednesday, May 1st at 6:00 am, the doors reopened. Bridget Harland, manager of Spikes Keg of Nails for many years and husband Jim has joined with her brother Scott VanLuchene and sister-in-law Kathy to open what many believe to be an anchor business for the downtown area. “We are really excited to bring back what we believe to be one of the most known eateries in the area. I will be the day-to-day manager and we have been able to bring back several of the past employees to help make this the Grayling Restaurant that everyone remembers” stated Bridget. Their new hours are from 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

How awesome is this? Thanks to Dave and Cindy and the rest of the crew at Paddle Hard. Great neighbors on Michigan Avenue and I love that we made it to the Purple Couch! 🥓🥞👍 ...

Nothing says Grayling like the famous "LumberJack" breakfast from the Grayling Restaurant! Bridget VanLuchene Harland, the owner of the awesome Grayling Restaurant, was generous enough to allow us to name a cider we made after the best breakfast around. Introducing the Lumberjack Cider. This cider is packed with 350 gallons of fresh squeezed apple cider from Kings Orchard. Then we dry hopped it with 60 pounds of fresh cooked bacon and topped it off with Michigan's very own maple syrup! Our tribute to the fine folks of the Grayling Restaurant and to the people who love Grayling! CHEERS to you!
